Why FOOTBALL IN INDIA FAILED 

I hope, they do now..

No one cares about soccer 😂😂

@@EvilKicksMoney I think you made your own world where cricket is more popular than football.5.3 billion people watch fifa world cup 2022 and your saying no one cares about football you should take your medicine First than comment

@@Prem8uis broo that was engagement not viewership 😂🤣😭 and that numbers are inflated and most of the people's watch soccer world cup just because of fomo not because they find soccer entertaining sport or interesting whatever 🤣🤣

@@EvilKicksMoney you should take your medicine on time than comment

@@Prem8uis broo this is fact, soccer is not even a real sport 🤣

FIFA World Cup would definitely be a game-changer but sadly, India isn't capable of hosting such an event at least in next 15 years.

Football is not taken seriously in India. Thing is, it's the only sport to get global recognition. ISL clubs were opened from a businessman's pov, it still is.

India has been way below poverty for too long, so that's a factor. But, if Indian Cricket team doing good job, then why shouldn't we support them? 'Boycott cricket' is nothing but some agenda.

Dude you just can't able to accept that right now Indian team is at its worst phase in football sports like javelin throw, archery and indoor games like chess and tennis look at Rohan bhopana these are not the games huh these are not effected by cricket, tell me ,in reality our team is weak they need better player they can't even able to do some basic football play against team like Syria where there's already so much crisis going on don't blame their disappointing approach and play into cricket it's just an excuse

Kabaddi is, in fact, a game which has Indian origin. So, it naturally is, far more deeply rooted.

@@Ashtrek_yt popular too kid to old age everyone from ever corner of India know the rules and game

1- Cricket 2- football 3. Kabaddi Indian football team ka fifa ranking 124 pe hai phir bhi itna popular Hai football India me .

@@Murmusantosh0001 many indian football fans only know neymar messi and ronaldo

That's true, but African countries have similar climate tho...

@@Ashtrek_yt but african bodies are different all the marathon races comes from africa only thay are built to last

​@@MuditPallook our bodies are adapted to where we live, Africa is more worse than India when it comes to weather so their body has adapted to African conditions, same for India. I being a seasonal footballer can easily play 90 minutes game, so i expect a professional player who's been playing entire life, has proper diet and stuff should have more endurance than me

​@@Ashtrek_ytbut there are also cold or normal temperature regions in india why can't we build infrastructure there

In Saudi it's like 50⁰ C but still atleast they are ranked atleast in 50's rank and qualify for WC

Very true. But, the irony is, since the inception of the game, it was for the middle class people and played by them too.

You're wrong AFC champions league match between Al hilal vs Mumbai City fc, I watched live . The crowd wore Al hilal Neymar jersey but they supported MUMBAI CITY FC . Whenever AL hilal players gets a ball crowd started booing. fans chanted "let's go Mumbai" many times in that match .

they have proper grassroot level as compared to india

@@peeyushdey9926 Wo to thik h Pr yr proper or basic Pass k liye grassroot chahiye...?

Bhai log 100 bahane Dede tab bhi koi farak nahi padne wala . Sach baat to ye he ki hum basic football nahi khel paate.

Problem is, India's football structure is so broken that it's hard to grow a culture. Sometimes, it's about execution; like, the coach wants you to play attacking football, that doesn't mean that you commit silly mistakes in defense. Partially, its the manager's fault too. Point is, football is one such game, where you need to have a structure and culture, otherwise, it's not easy to go ahead.

The way ISL is DOING currently (if they don't change it drastically), I don't even see India qualifying for Quarters in AFC Asian Cup. All the franchise owners are unhappy because the clubs are losing more and more money, Delhi and Pune completely shut their teams off. So, in short, situation is getting tougher. Hope, ISL doesn't turn out to be another I-league in future.

@@Ashtrek_yt what about isl rights being sold to jio cinema last year for 550 cr .where is that money going

The amount is higher although, roughly about 700 Cr. However, firstly, AIFF doesn't distribute all the money to the clubs. It keeps 30-35% of it to itself. Now, each of these clubs have to spend nearly 100 cr. each season. Number of fans in the stadiums are getting lesser, so matchday revenues are getting cut down too. Now, if you're familiar with European Football, you'd know UCL finalist Inter Milan is on the verge of bankruptcy. Mainly because of low revenue from merchandises and brand deals. Actually, merchandises almost contributes 40-50% of the club's total revenue ideally and brand deals' contributions differ. These clubs hardly sell any of their tshirts or socks officially, and generating less matchday revenues is just rubbing salt in the wounds.

​@@Ashtrek_ytonly stadium that always get filled is Kerala I know because I live there

The way it is going, Playing in World Cup is never going to happen.

That's why Football clubs or states need to spread some degree of awareness & they are not doing a good job in that..

Actually in America, Soccer had seen few ups and downs, unlike India, where it is following constant downward trajectory. MLS was pretty popular before WWII, then the popularity fell off; again the hype skyrocketed when Pele or Beckham joined. So, some people got hooked to it, and the sports culture in the US is pretty much more than just a pastime. So, that's why...

​@@Ashtrek_ytIf I watch football between european and india, is like india don't know to pass well if they got the ball they are just running alone and forget the one who is free alone they never looked up sometimes but most of them do like that and if we see the passing most of the time they just sometimes shoot they don't look back passing style , shortcut , passing back , they need to plan very quickly in order to get that goal. They need to improve in passing, pressure and so much more , how it is not impossible 1.4 billion people in this country and we could not find any best talent ,the scout should select perfect if we see some scouts never choose them well in my opinion and my friends. I hope u read it

​@@Ashtrek_ytno one cares about soccer in usa my brooo and the mf behind this vdo imean the guy who made this video is farmer 8😂😂

Gurpreet I understand but who will replace sunil?

Sunil Chhetri is the only one carrying this team; the team is too much dependant on a 39 year old man. And, Stimac is too pragmatic, same team, same formation, and nothing new according to the opponents.

AIFF doesn't want India to face top sides because they're gonna humiliate India anyway, instead playing against some minnows would guarantee some wins and AIFF would be safe from criticism.

Africa has culture if not the infrastructure..... India has neither..... Developing football culture will take time but infrastructure is a necessity for even a chance

As per my knowledge, India already allows PIOs to stay and work in the private sector. They can't take up any government jobs or represent national teams. Currently, in other sports like Cricket or Hockey, there is no need for PIOs to play for their teams, nor is there any push for it. Therefore, it is the AIFF's task to advocate for it. However, I'm unsure if they can make an exception, and at the same time, I doubt there has been any law prohibiting it.

@@Ashtrek_yt Indian constitution does not support dual citizenship those pio who can take only Indian citizenship they can play for Indian football team this is our current rule . Izumi Arata already did this and that is not the solution dear under 10 to 20 we need good coach and proper Infrastructure . Make one video on Armando Colaeo we beat Quatar 23 at there home 2-1. We badly need coach like Armando Colaso, Sanjoy sen .

Ik India doesn't support dual citizenship, that's why, I was advocating about granting permission for PIO footballers. My point is, PIO is definitely not a long term solution, without infrastructure and proper training you can do nothing, that's for sure; but, this is a dire situation. If India wants improve in football, it is time. Because, the way foreign leagues are entering into the Indian market and booming, along with the rise of cricket, kabaddi and hockey, Indian football has only one way - it's downward. Hardly anybody would care about it and eventually it will be back to square one. Some SAFF trophies and some friendly trophies - that'd be India's highest achievements ever.

It's definitely not, but if you can bring those players into your squad, it definitely will boost the quality and people will be more interested to watch those players. So, in a way, it's like an indirect investment in youth; the competition will be there, so it's ultimately beneficial for the future. Most importantly, the team will get better and that nevertheless will bring tons of exposure, advertisements and investments, that'll give the whole pyramid a quick boost.

@@Ashtrek_yt if it happens it has to be in all sport they cannot do exception for fotball and if it is implemented do u even know the consequences think about in a broader prospective there will be too many challenges there are indians all over the world what will be the point of grass root development you are thinking solutions for short period, think big man

I get your point. The thing I'm talking about is a short term fix but it'll have the long term effect. After the pandemic, foreign leagues are entering the Indian market more than ever. If you are familiar with European Football, you'd that European Super League will be launched and even they'll stream it for free. So, what would majority of the football fans do? They'd watch ESL, even English Premier League will be sidelined, let alone Indian Football. There hardly will be any brand deals, again the scarcity of money, so ISL will eventually become I-league again. Then, why'd anyone want to become a footballer? Thing is, it's not '80s or '90s, that the government should focus on youth only, it's too late. Cricket or Hockey will only further grow and football will be going backwards. When all the football contents are getting easily accessible, why would average viewers compromise their experience? I know, PIO is risky; but they can make a exception too if they want. Like, its a football development project, hockey or cricket or kabaddi teams have more than decent players, so foreign players wouldn't be necessary there. Ultimately, it's a risky bet, if properly implemented, they can some of the complications and it could succeed.

Revolutionary figures needed for that kind of developments.

​@@Ashtrek_yt Revolutionary figures have to be dictators so that they can take strong steps .

The first season was honestly a breath of fresh air. The hype was outstanding and people truly liked it.

They already have that culture for the for a long time, so the Uzbek people will play the game anyway.

Thing is, I made this channel so that everybody would understand. Tbh, I also do want to make videos in Hindi, but since only just myself in this, it currently is too difficult for me to run another channel. However, in future, I definitely will.

It's mostly about not being tax free or not, it's more like having a passion towards the game.

Tbf, yes!

@@Ashtrek_yt football sucks and I hate football

No one cares about football in Australia except some bots, in summer Aussies play cricket and afl in winter

​@@EvilKicksMoney 😂😂 were did you get these raw knowledge? Google? 😂 Google shows what you search. There is a huge decline in junior participants in Cricket and I know Football is not for poor genetics of Indians 😂😂 because Football need stamina and power and Indians are Lazy AF

Idk what else fans can do! Truth is, Indian football doesn't have that quality. Why would people even compromise!

😂who's blaming fans, everyone blames the government and its federation AIFF

And rightly so, except few all major football stadiums are athletic stadiums, Second division league and national cup tournament don't have tv broadcast whereas celebrity cricket or retired cricketers do, majority states don't conduct local leagues up till recent i think they didnt even have a state team...

They do in Sikkim & Manipur but not big enough

Football is shit 💩

Absolutely.

Because, they have genetical advantages in terms of stamina. Talents aside, being capable of playing full 90 minutes is definitely tougher than it seems.

​@@Ashtrek_yt if you train well you can improve stamina btw if there fighting spirit in the team then they achieve more . nothing beats talents i see no creativity in the team

That's why, proper training from the early ages is important. Indian kids, especially who are into athletic sports are mostly from rural areas, who doesn't had quality lifestyle and training; so, that's quite a problem.

Isl should understand this

In fact, whole South East Asian genetics is not built for supreme athletism. NE Indians typically have just one advantage - they have better stamina. So, Indians need to develop technicalities, for that, having a proper culture is essential.

Coaches are not even properly educated.

Stop blamming cricket for our performance in other sports India has population of 1 point 4 billion which is not a joke Do you know Uruguay has just population of 3 point 4 million and they are good in football while we have too much football fans as compare to Uruguay population Afc match between India and Australia attendance was more than 30 thousand in which most were Indians and it is very good attendence Our football team was supported more than Australia in match and against Uzbekistan we played worse than Australia So why fans will support Indian football team if they not do good in big tournaments Before 1980 cricket was very less followed in India but then they start winning big matches then people start following cricket and we can see the cricket popularity in India now So please stop blamming cricket

@sanketshah6684 it's not really. Football itself is responsible for its condition. It's truth.

Very true. But, hardly anyone influential is trying to do so..

I'm a 14 years old player I have been playing football since 6 years and I'm in love with football but there are no nearby championship or even selections😢 I want to build a career in it But there is no option for it too⚽

Glad you liked it

That's not possible if football continues to have this level of popularity.

True.

It's about economics not sport 😂😂😂😂 India grows crickets influence will grow Money 💰 is king 🤴

no bullshit what a loser attitude football is not mandatory for development you are braindead if u think so

​@@Ashtrek_yt😂😂😂

It's easy to blame others rather than looking at your own. It's a common narrative circulating on social media; started as a joke but now it has gotten pretty serious.

Coordination ke liyey time chaiyey yey team game hain cricket nhi ki individual gameplay acha hoga to chaljayega har do mahine baad team badloge to kya hoga

ISL's poor scheduling, AIFF not making arrangements for match with higher ranked teams, just arranging a SAFF competition and some smaller meaningless tournament, that's it- so many factors are there.

Let's see. AIFF should take matters seriously now.

Focus should on the grassroot, anywhere it can be. Although its easier to do so in NE and South, so yeah.

Absolutely spot on!

Earth inhabitant.

@@Ashtrek_yt Your accent saying so...

Indian education system is much more of a burden than western countries, it's true; but the same you can't say about Cricket or Kabaddi. Problem is the lack of culture, imo

The issue is that investors don't seem to care about these tournaments. They launched ISL merely to add it to their portfolio. The less investment these tournaments receive, the more the system deteriorates.

True, but people are no longer that much interested. Since RPSG took over MB, a group of supporters opted not to support the team, EB fanbase has declined a lot in recent years; and outside Kolkata, hardly anybody in the state, cares about them. Those who still support EB and MB are mostly from previous generation.

but they dont seem to have support nowadays

@@afishekkrishnar4415 average 25k supporters in mbsg and average 15-18k supporters is going to support eastbengal even in their lowest time. This is a good number, though not great. Kolkata police is very unprofessional to provide a fan culture by restricting every possible way they can. And transportation problem of that stadium area in 10-30pm after match is also a major cause.

Indian team somehow lack that mentality and grittiness.

True.

Soccer is a dying sport 😂

Cricket is losing bro not football 😂

@@Prem8uis soccer is dying slow death, countries where soccer is popular just because they don't have any opt other than soccer

Atm, India does need those players, if India want to thrive in this game.

Why ? You don't like immigration?

Absolutely spot on.

That's why having culture and passion is important.

💯

Absolutely right

Yeah, but every nation has some problems, but India's total football pyramid is broken :/

True. Current structure of ISL practically isn't serving any significant purpose for the football itself. A 5-6 month season is already too short and during international window, franchises are not willing to let players leave for national duty. 😶

:/

I won't advocate for all 23 players to be PIOs, but at least, there can be a 5/6 player quota.

@@Ashtrek_yt My explanation is really straightforward. Playing top-tier games and giving established teams a hard time is the best way to draw attention, which will ultimately bring sponsors. The survival of the game and making it popular in India needs to be the priority right now. In parallel we can train the next generation of youngsters which needs a proper long term planning and a practical vision. Winning SAFF Championship is no longer sufficient. If a team composed solely of PIOs can offer us hope, then fine. The hope itself is lacking at the moment. Even while we have a larger football fan population than some of the more developed, smaller countries, the bulk of Indians choose to watch the European leagues.

Spot on. The most essential part is marketing, which is heavily lacking.

I don't think it'll die, it's just that the sector is already too saturated.

@@Ashtrek_yt die slang is just for fun but this is the ERA Of t20 cricket and the future is now, we already has started to see progress in cricket without icc development program, cricket is now in pan America, Olympic, 13th American gane and yesterday Nigeria beat Namebia and Kenya beat south Africa and there's a discussion that Euro sport also want cricket to be in euro 2026 because they also know what potential cricket has, they don't want to get self behind

@@EvilKicksMoney but football in europe, south america have a long history with the working class who will always be the bulk cricket cant be suddenly popular usa sports community is quite glamourized and money minded so cricket will have good chance there especially with a strong indian community

It kinda has become...

JioCinema's broadcasting deal amount is good enough; problem is these clubs hardly sell any merchandises or they don't have any other significant revenue stream.

I am saying dedicated to only Indian football and Global Football... talk shows,pre -post match analysis

Lazy folks can't even hire a decent marketing team, let alone bringing their channel.

Sorry you felt that way. Problem is, these type of videos do need a base to build upon so that anyone would understand. I hope you'd understand.

No It's not waste it's important to understand that why Indian Football is failing..

Fact.

why not watch kabbadi your own game its much more interesting than football your problem is that you think the game that white colour people play is more interesting while games born in india like chess kabbadi khokho you wont watch

I never thought this would be the scoreline when I was making this video.. 💀

Downfall ? prime tha he kab? 40/50 saal se downfall mai he Hai...

Avg attendance in KBFC stadium in 2014 was 49k and now it is 31k (Ik, stadium capacity is reduced to 45k now). So, in a way, the league's popularity is declining. People were more excited to see Man City's Treble than these matches tbh. However, KBFC and MBSG are the only two teams that are selling more than 20k tickets per match. But, there are 10 teams also playing; their record is abysmal. And, it's not about legacy, because Kolkata used to be the football capital of India, people used to be crazy about football; they still are crazy but not about Mohun Bagan or East Bengal, they're crazy about United or City or Real.

True. 💯

Ha humko pehle football ko top70 me laana hoga.

Any manager who would bring the best out of these players will be good enough.

Thank you for the kind words. I use Photoshop, After Effects and Filmora.

Infrastructure v hona chahiye... proper...same kid's parents would support him if he wants to play Cricket... admission kra dynge coaching me..time lgegaa infrastructure me😂😂
